Mr. Custer Letra

(The men of the 7th cavalry went riding on)
(And from the rear a voice was heard)
(A brave young man with a trembling word rang loud and clear)

What am I doing here?

Please Mr.Custer, I don't wanna go
Eh, er, Mr.Custer? Please don't make me go
I had a dream last night about the comin' fight
Somebody yelled "Attack!"
And there I stood with an arrow in my back
Please Mr.Custer, I don't wanna go
Oh-oh, oh..

SPOKEN:
Look at `em bushes out there, they're movin'
There's an Indian behind every one of `em
Er, um, Mr.Custer
May I be excused for the rest of the afternoon, please?
Wanna change my library book
OY, WATCH OUT, DUCK YOUR HEAD!
Oo-er, bit late on that one, son
God, I bet that don't half hurt

(They were sure of victory)
(The men of the 7th Cavalry as they rolled on)
(When from the rear a voice was heard)
(That same great voice with a trembling word rang loud and clear)

What am I doing here?

Please Mr.Custer, I don't wanna go
Er, listen, er, Mr.Custer? Please don't make me go
There's a redskin waitin'out there, waitin' to cut my hair
A coward I've been called
But I don't wanna wind up dead or bald
Please Mr.Custer, I don't wanna go
Oo-errr, err-oo

SPOKEN:
Now, let's see, what's the Indian word for `friend'?
Oh yes, I know ? manyarna, yeah that's it
Oy, you lot out there `Manyarna'
(Arrow whizzes by) Ooo!
Oooh! No, that ain't it
Look at `em out there
Running around like a bunch of wild Indians
Bunch of wild Indians! Ha-ha-ha-ha
Now this is no time for joking
(Sound of many arrows whizzing by)
Oo?oh?oo?help!
Mr Custer?
Oh my God!

(Fades)
